It will provide integrated logistics services, including international export consolidation, regional and global order fulfillment and distribution, cross border e-commerce and other value-added logistics services.

Upon completion, to further improve the environmental footprint, the new facility will be equipped with LED lighting, nature ventilation, non-fossil energy heating systems and electric vehicle and equipment charging piles.
